Abstract
A wideband antenna with excellent efficiency is the most important requirement of wireless communication. There are many ways to improve the antenna bandwidth, such as using a low permittivity substrate, increasing the substrate thickness, and using different shapes of radiating patches. However, this cannot achieve wideband. This problem can be solved by using a metamaterial-based microstrip antenna that can achieve wideband. The proposed patch antenna has a metamaterial unit cell loaded on the top patch and on the bottom ground plane. The top unit cell, which consists of a square loop with Complementary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) and the bottom unit cell, which is a Square Shaped Cross-Slot (SSCS), is loaded on the patch and ground. The objective is to achieve a compact metamaterial-loaded antenna with enhanced radiation characteristics and to design a metamaterial antenna for wideband applications. The wideband and high gain features of the proposed antenna make it suitable for 5G NR FR1 and Wi-Fi 6E applications.
